Why do you keep cells at 5 percent CO2 concerning cell cultures?

This is usually done in mammalian cell cultures, as our bodies contain 5% CO2 as well. Having the concentration of CO2 at physiological conditions helps control the pH of the culture, preventing it from becoming too alkaline.

What is the relative size of a red blood cell to a white blood cell?
1000 red blood cells To 1 white blood cell
How can cell culture be useful to biologists?
cell cultures help other cells reproduce so biologists can study them more
What epidermal cell compose about 8 percent epidermal cells?
stratum granulosum and stratum lucidum
What are 10 types of cells?
Cardiac muscle cell, skeletal muscle cell, smooth muscle cell, fat cell, neuron, stratified squamous epithelial cell, ciliated epithelial cell, bone cell, neutrophil, and erythrocyte(red blood cell)
What do plant cells have that animal cells do not have?
Plant cells have chloroplasts (which make food for the plant through photosynthesis) and a cell wall. Animal cells do not; they only have a cell membrane (plant cells have a cell membrane and a cell wall).
Concerning cells structure determines?
Cells provide structure, stability, and energy. A cell also determines the sex of the concerning child because they contain genetic material. Therefore, concerning cell structure determine the function.
What is the percent of the cells in metaphase?
The percent of cell in meta phase in 45
Can you use brain tumor cell cultures from tissues instead of cell lines?
No. They will contain abnormal cells and cancer if implanted.
How can a cell culture be used to biologists?
Cell cultures can be used to test cell responses under controlled conditions, to study interactions between cells, and to select specific cells for further study.
What is the difference in cell cultures and cell fractionation?
culturing is growing cells in a laboratory, usually in little petri dishes. Fractionation is breaking apart cells from some natural source
What factors are considered when a cell cultures environment is made as similar as possible to a cells natural surrounding?
Temperature
Which of the following is NOT true concerning mitosis?
Animal cells form a cell plate during cytokinesis while plant cells do not.
Which type of cell makes up 10 percent of the brain?
Brain cells :)
How do you wash hela cells from my skin?
That cross-contaminations of HeLa are still a major ongoing problem with modern cell cultures not with your cells, exactly. If you have had a transplant of tissues that involve HeLa cell lines, you will not see these on your skin.
What is the relative size of a red blood cell to a white blood cell?
1000 red blood cells To 1 white blood cell
Is blood have a cell wall?
yes, because the shape is a like a circle. A cell wall gives a proper shape to the structure. RBC's don't have a 100% percent proper shape.
How can cell culture be useful to biologists?
